It may sell, but I doubt it'll get big. Over the years wagons, no matter how cool just dont really make it in US. Take Dodge's Magnum for example, it got big for like, a year or 2, and then it tanked so deeply the company killed it last year. I wont be surprised if the wagon shares some panels with Saab. They look very similar in profile.

Replying to: nvbanker (Aug 17, 2008 9:06 am) The Magnum, with only a 3.5 V6 or the Hemi, was not quite what I would have liked. I was somewhat concerned about Chryslers quality too. I think what killed the wagon was that the kids of the 60's did not want a wagon, so the minivan took the market. The minivan was a good design though. And those who did not want a minivan bought SUVs. I think the wagon market was killed off by both the SUV and the minivan. Big vans were popular for a while too, but those people seemed to go for the monster sized motor home. Can't imagine why 8 MPG on diesel motor homes make any sense. |

Still can't see this being a popular car, but what do I know? I still think the DTS is the best Cadillac made......

Replying to: circlew (Aug 18, 2008 9:42 am) The Luxury II package is the lower-midrange DTS. In ascending order it is: DTS V-8 Luxury I Luxury II Luxury III Performance I certainly can't complain about my Cadillac DTS Performance. You really get a lot for the money. You also pay a lot less up front than many other comparable cars. You'd have to go all the way up to a S-Class Mercedes, 7-Series BMW, or Lexus LS to get a car as big as the DTS and with the same features and you're already way north of $70K.

Replying to: lemko (Aug 18, 2008 9:56 am) Lux I; lux II; lux III and performance. beginning with 2007 the lux III was dropped and the base model was DTS. Then the lux I package was an upgrade, with the lux II probably the same as the old lux III. |

Replying to: lemko (Aug 18, 2008 9:56 am) Or the Hyundai VI/Equus/whatever-they-decide-to-call-it-here. The biggest problem with Cadillac moving down to the entry-lux segment is that there are more than a few upward-climbing brands they'll have to fight with there.
